USA TODAY Sports' Adi Joseph and Sean Highkin will be counting down NBA teams based on watchability for the upcoming 2013-14 seasons. We'll go one team a day, from least-watchable to most, giving you an idea of what to keep an eye out for this season. Today, we arrive at the No. 23 Sacramento Kings:

Overview: After a long, back-and-forth dalliance with Seattle investors, the Kings are staying put in Sacramento. That's the good news. The bad is the roster remains in flux. Cousins is one of the most dominant big men in the NBA when he's focused, but his headstrong approach has alienated many and could lead the team not to re-sign him. Sacramento will continue to struggle heavily on defense, but the offense should be entertaining.

WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THEM

Run-DMC: Cousins defines the concept of watchability. Without him, the Kings would be dead last in these rankings. With him, any moment could go viral. He was ejected four times last year, but it's so much more than that. He may be the most natural post scorer in the NBA, a throwback to the days of big men going hard in the paint every night. His athleticism and power can be astounding.

The happiest fans: When a group led by Vivek Ranadive stepped up and bought the Kings from the Maloof family, a city exhaled. Sacramento had been hearing for several years that its team was on the move, and while an arena plan remains in the works, there's a palpable security these days. Attendance has not been impressive in years at Sleep Train Arena, but that could be boosted with the Maloofs no longer profiteering.

A passer, finally: The Kings put out one of the NBA's most selfish lineups the past few seasons, often playing Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Thornton and Tyreke Evans together on the perimeter. While Thomas and Thornton remain, Evans was dealt this offseason to the New Orleans Pelicans in a three-way sign-and-trade. The Kings brought in Greivis Vasquez, who led the NBA in total assists last season. He's an occasionally spectacular passer who should help open things up for Cousins.

JUST TRY TO IGNORE ...

The defense: The Kings ranked last in the NBA last season in allowing 105.1 points a game. A very good offensive-rebounding frontcourt ranked 29th in defensive boards. Opponents shot 47.2% against the Kings. And the team did nothing to address those issues this offseason, meaning new coach Mike Malone has a tough job ahead of him.

@boogiecousins: To go along with being the NBA's most unpredictable star, Cousins is one of the league's best tweeters. He's sharp and incisive but also engaging.
